According to Gao's pragmatic judgment, Zhang Juzheng must have had a sense of urgency after knowing that Long Qing was seriously ill, because it stands to reason that once Emperor Longqing dies, Gao Gong will be the first and second-in-command. The prince is now younger, even younger than he was then.
Sejong was still several years younger when he entered the capital as a vassal king, and it was impossible for him to take power. As long as Gao Gong did not make a big mistake, the government would be in his hands. At that time, he would be too passive.
As for what he said during the secret meeting with Feng, since Concubine Li would definitely let Feng Bao take charge of the ceremonial department, then as long as Gao Gong dared to touch Feng Bao, Concubine Li would definitely take down Gao Gong - the truth of this statement is correct, but it is
First of all, there is an assumption that Gao Gong will touch Feng Bao.
What if the high arch does not move? Then these assumptions are meaningless.
Zhang Juzheng even suspected that if Gao Gong did not move Feng Bao, Feng Bao might have a sense of regret for the rest of his life. Not to mention continuing to fight against Gao Gong, the eunuch might even take this opportunity to fall against Gao Gong -
- Politicians have no principles in their eyes, only interests.
As long as Gao Gong does not object to Feng Bao being the director of rites, there will be no conflict of interest between Feng Bao and Gao Gong. Anyway, Feng Bao does not dare and cannot have ideas for the cabinet. It is really good for you and me.
Hello everyone.
The only bad thing is Zhang Juzheng, because he is the only one who can threaten Gao Gong's status.
Gao Jingshi felt that the sense of urgency in Zhang Juzheng's heart should have reached its peak after he saw Emperor Longqing holding Gao Gong's hand and whispering for a long time as soon as he woke up.
After that, unless Zhang Juzheng directly admitted his defeat and asked for an official position, he had no way out.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic felt that all he had to do next was wait for Zhang Juzheng to take action.
However, it may be that Zhang Juzheng also needs time to arrange things. For three consecutive days, Zhang Dang did not make any move. On the fourth day, something good happened that Gao Pragmatic had been waiting for for a long time.
On the 11th day of March in the sixth year of Longqing, Wang Zongmu, the governor-general and censor of the water transport capital, wrote: "The national plan depends on the water transport, which is like the blood of the human body. If the blood vessels are connected, the person will be healthy, and if the water transport is smooth, the national economy will be sufficient. I have been in charge of river transport for hundreds and sixty years."
(Several, almost), the law has been improved, and there is no stagnation in the dredging. Recently, there have been many problems, and the Yellow River is overflowing, and there are many dangers of drifting, so Kechen reconsidered the shipping..."
"...it is thought that when the river enters the lock, it will be difficult for two boats to merge and cannot move quickly. The fish are going backwards. If one boat breaks down, dozens of boats will be damaged in succession. They are all lost at the same time and it is inevitable. If a man shouts, all the oars will stop here.
The example of the spine and throat is a concern that our ancestor Qiu Jun was worried about and cannot be dispelled. If our country is peaceful and peaceful, and the Lord joins the river and joins the sea, we will have no worries at all. Therefore, the capital of Yan is receiving the sea, and I still follow it with my left arm.
It’s just a matter of taking things from below.”
"...Therefore, the great talent of Han Dynasty is still on the verge of a decisive battle; Wang Anshi is wise and sophisticated, and he pays attention to the start of the game. The river is in trouble, and it is like this today! And about last year's drift, did any of the ministers change their colors after hearing about it?
If you fail in the river and cannot adapt to the sea, how can you plan to find a way out? Therefore, when a rich man builds a house, he must open the side door to prevent the central hall from closing, so he can enter from the side. This is what is called the urgency of the day. The storm depends on the number of days, minister
How can we go against it? It will inevitably avoid the situation and make it unhappy, which will not be able to prevent the big plan. Only the sage can choose, and the seven things will happen in Shanghai..."
"Firstly, rice must be transported. Now that sea transportation is underway, it is appropriate to allocate a quota of grain for collection. In the sixth year of Longqing, there is a shortage of ships. After sufficient grain and rice are ready for shipment, please transfer the grain to the second government of Huai'an and Yangzhou and correct the grain quota.
One hundred thousand one hundred and fifty stones were sent to the sea, and the states and counties were ordered to collect food from nearby waters. In case of disasters, sufficient grain and rice would be allocated to Fengyang.
Second, discuss the ship materials. It is said that there are more than 200,000 canal transports, and a total of 436 boats will be used. The wood on the Huaihe River is expensive, so it is difficult to distinguish. It is better to send it to various factories in Huguang Yizhi to build it. The price of the materials
One hundred and eighteen thousand four hundred taels is a surprise. The price of river barley materials from the third factory in Xiajiang, Zhejiang is about to be clarified, and this year's reduction of grain reserves in Huguang, Zhejiang, and the use of silver for Henan Banjiang and others will not be enough to massage and patrol salt.
The Yamen fined and redeemed two pieces of silver to make up for it.
Third, discuss the officers and troops. It is said that when transporting grain, it is appropriate to dispatch 14 guards such as Huai Da Taiwen, and order the army to lead the ship. Each ship will follow the old practice of Zheyang, with twelve troops and nine people going to transport it.
They deducted grain and silver to buy sailors, and set up a maritime transport commander to take charge of them. The officials who led the gang went to the coastal guard to select supplies, and the necessary supplies were shipped to the river barges to transport the army's grain and silver.
The fourth is to discuss precautions. It is said that when grain boats enter and exit the sea, it is advisable to order the patrol officers and other officials to send small boats to the islands to prepare troops and ambushes to prevent thieves.
Fifth, we discussed stripping. It was said that when the grain boat arrived at Haikou, Tianjin, the water was shallow and the boats had to use the stripping boat to reach the dam. For every hundred shi of grain, we would pay two liang and nine qian for the water. It was light enough to pay the silver tael, and we would appoint officials in advance to travel by land.
I started to understand and listened to the various grain inspectors to receive and use it. I heard that there is a newly built port in Tianjin with complete facilities, and it can also be borrowed and berthed.
Sixth, discuss the return of goods. Said that shipping by sea is risky, but it is different from transport by river. When the flag army returns to the south after finishing its food supplies, each ship is allowed to bring eighty loads of private goods, and they are given tax-free tickets as a sign of preferential treatment.
The seventh one is worshiping the sacrificial rituals. It is said that the mountains and rivers are desolate, and the sacrificial rituals are contained in the sacrificial rituals. The ones that are feared by the sea today are dragons and wind ears. It is advisable to hold temples to worship in order to honor the gods."
If you enter sparsely, you can partially cover it.
When he entered the cabinet again, Gao Gong personally drew up the vote, which said: "The capital of our country is Yan. In the north there is a village called Wulu who serves as the city, and in the south there is the sea as a pond. The golden soup is solid and created by heaven and the earth. This is why the saint's son and his descendants will benefit from it for thousands of years."
It is better to use sea transportation to make up for the shortage of rivers and canals."
In the afternoon, the approval letter was issued: "It will be carried out according to the plan, and Lei Yuan will supervise the execution."
Gao Pragmatic, who had been waiting at the cabinet since lunch, took the original text of the letter, the draft plan and the copy of Zhu's approval to the prince to observe the government. At the same time, he felt relieved - in the past few months, he had already
He spent more than 200,000 taels of silver at Tianjin Port. The construction of the port was in full swing, and most of the personnel were recruited according to his plan. If the shipping matter could not be completed, he would really lose a lot of money.
Fortunately, although Cao Zong Wang Zongmu was a disciple of Xinxue, but under the pressure of years of water transportation being blocked, he was worried about his own black hat, and finally listened to Gao Pragmatic's instigation to open sea transportation, and the most important thing is that he is still in Shuwen.
Tianjin Port was directly designated - "I heard that Tianjin has a newly built port with complete facilities and can also be borrowed for berthing."
As for whether there is anything fishy in this, Gao Yude said he didn't know anything.
After this important matter was settled, Gao Pragmatic became even busier. He sent three orders to the Tianjin Port, asking Shuai Jiamo and others to work hard and make sure that this year's grain ships were docked, unloaded, etc.
When things are done well, there can be no mistakes.
As for the private goods that the sea-carrying ships need to bring on their return journey, Gao Pragmatic also asked the Tianjin Port to prepare in advance so that these grain transport teams can complete all purchases without leaving the port.
In a word, high pragmatism should make these people clearly feel that Tianjin Port is convenient, fast, safe and cheap!
After all, if southern businessmen want to come to the north, they are the best promoters of Tianjin Port.
Just as Gao Jingshi finished his work, Zhang Juzheng finally completed the arrangement and took action against Gao Gong.
